Insulated and <br /> jacketed steam heating pipes,that replaced ruptured,underground steam pipes in 1997,travel <br /> across the existing covered walkways and enter the building on the south end of the building, <br /> Air conditioning is provided by individual window air conditioning units. The cooling tower <br /> (mentioned above)appears to be sized to provide air conditioning to the 300 Building in the <br /> future. <br /> The Cafeteria Building opened in 1952. The Cafeteria Building exhibits the following features: <br /> • A one-story, lightweight,structural steel frame with a concrete slab floor and a"Cemesto <br /> Insulation Roof Deck". <br /> • An exterior wall consisting of 12"thick masonry walls and aluminum windows. The walls <br /> are made up of an 8"concrete masonry unit and a 4"exterior brick. The original windows <br /> were replaced in about 1990 with a thermally unbroken aluminum window system. <br /> • A roof that has reached its useful life and needs to be replaced. The single-ply membrane <br /> roof was replaced in 1987(15 years old). Many small blemishes are forming due to its age <br /> that could create small leaks in the future. The original roof deck was truly flat with internal <br /> drainage. Tapered insulation and large,galvanized steel gutters were added during the <br /> reroofing to provide minimal slope and to collect the rainwater and divert it to the grade. <br /> According to The Garland Co.,a roofing consultant that assessed the condition of the roof <br /> earlier this year,the existing single-ply roofing membrane and the roof insulation needs m be <br /> replaced and the periineter flashing needs major repairs. <br /> • Floors that are mostly vinyl composition file(some placed over vinyl asbestos tile) in the <br /> dining area,and quarry the in the kitchen. <br /> • A heating system consisting of unit heaters located near the ceiling and an cooling system <br /> consisting of(2)floor-mounted package air conditioning units. <br /> The Gymnasium Building opened in 1959. The Gymnasium Building exhibits the following <br /> features: <br /> • Two separate structural systems. The gymnasium area is a steel,long-span structural system <br /> with steel trusses and purlins. The locker area is a one-story,poured-in-place concrete <br /> structure. <br /> • An exterior wall consisting of 12"to 16"thick masonry walls with original metal windows. <br /> • A roof that is serviceable. It appears the curved gymnasium roof is a modified bitumen roof <br /> with a granular cap sheet(similar to 300 Building), and according id'school system records, it <br /> was replaced in 1988(14 years old). The flat,locker area roof appears to be a four-ply built- <br /> up roof,and according to school system records,was replaced in 2001..During site <br /> investigation, ponding water was noted on the locker area roof. <br /> • Finishes are all original. The wood flooring in the gymnasium and stage area is maple <br /> flooring and has been renovated recently. The lobby,toilet rooms,offices and locker areas <br /> are all in original condition. <br /> • A building program that includes physical education, art,and miscellaneous <br /> (919) 1.)42-8586 Telephone R051602existingfacilities.doc <br /> (919)929-4802 Fax <br />
